All that remains of Cawood Castle is the gatehouse. But the garth still exists: a 5.3-hectare open space that is the site of the former Castle. Its name comes from the Old English word for "garden". This medieval enclosure served as the castle gardens and has evidence of moats, fishponds, and earthworks. In the 1980s, the community purchased the Garth to protect it from housing development. It is now owned by the Cawood Parish Council and managed by the Cawood Castle Garth Group.
